MotoGP Austin Photos

Just got time to post these for you guys. Been in San Antonio at the Bush/Filter/Oleaner concert. FYI, those guys rocked the House there.

Just wanted to share some pics especially the Desmosedici. I meet the guy that owned it. That bike is just awesome. Made my Panigale look like a kids bike. He bought it for 42K on ebay.

Notice the pimped up ride with Nicky Haydens signature on the gas tank.

Got some gurly pics too.

I am in the grey jacket on the ride to Austin and the track ride.

Hope you guys enjoy them.

Thanks for sharing. I am jelly.

Honda just dominated.

Ducati parking lot was like you died and went to Heaven. We might not have won the race but Ducati isnt just about the bike. The Ducati staff treated owners like we are part of the company. Owners didnt care if you owned a Multistrada, Diavel, Panigale, etc... we all just love Ducati.

Notice the little Kick stand coaster they put under the bikes when you came to park it. It was free for riders and they were selling it in the Ducati store for 5 bucks. Just makes you feel good pulling up, it was like a valet park for bikes. The crowds came to the parking lot just to take pictures of the bikes.

My bike is the one next to the Desmo. After looking at the Panigale next to it, I want one. Maybe not the Desmo but a high end 1198.

So at this point in owning the bike, I dont care if we win or all that. You just take pride in rolling the words, "I own a Ducati" off your tongue. And we just look sexier riding one. End of story.

Very nice pics. The ducati grandstand looked full and it was great that you had your own parking. I really regret not going, but my work started out really slow rhis year and I couldn't justify the expense and taking more time off. I ride in the forest..the usual roads up north. Maybe I'll see you around sometime.

Here are a few of mine. Unfortunately couldn't take the Pani, but definitely enjoyed the weekend!

Duc Parking

Alright... ill add some of mine here, if its alright. This weekend was positively the best weekend of my life. I had so much fun.

Started off on Thursday with a Kevin Schwantz meet and greet. I have had a litho for about 18 years that I have been trying to get him to sign. I'm not a big "get someone famous to autograph something" guy but for this litho, I just thought it was right. . The whole place applauded after he signed this for me.. class act dude. He and COTA need to get their drama figured out. It's horrible he isn't apart of the race here.



Kevin and my chick...






The Ducati section and hospitality was just top notch..





Ill add some more later... kinda slammed at work.

The Ducati swag tent was pretty sweet... buddy Yvette on the new white Panigale





Haydens bike... think everyone has a shot with this beast..

We posted up right by the bridge... I really believe the turn 15 grandstands are the best viewing at the entire track..









Before the Ducati lap...



I really enjoy my Panigale until my buddy rides with me on his 800 mile Desmo..



My base Pani



I could post pics for days on this weekend.. went to so many cool parties, met so many awesome people from all over the world, saw sooooo many beautiful bikes and watched some kick ... racing.

Like I said... a truly fantastic weekend. I am so thankful this happened right in my backyard.

+1 I was in 15-2 and it was a great view!

It was a fun weekend trip from Boston to Austin. I was really expecting to escape from the Massachusetts cold but it was chilly in Austin. It warmed up some for the race on Sunday. Nice to hear the Ducati Grandstand was sold out. I hate to admit the race was boring with the Honda's running away with the victory from the 1st lap. Ducati has to do something to be competitive.

Too funny, man. I was thinking it was pretty damn hot. But this was my drive to the airport the day I left for Austin.
